Three years ago 'this new school was organized and made its appeal to the people Of the neighborhoodhto the young men and women who had been obliged to leave. school and enter into industry without a high school education.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY N the year nineteen hundred and eleven a rumor was heard that a new Night High School was to be added to the two schools of this kind in Cincinnati. It was to be held at the XYash- ington School, and it roused the spirit of learn- ing in many people of that and surrounding localities. Consequently it was a vast audience who listened to the opening remarks of our late principal, Professor George XV. Burns, and joined the different classes open to them. It was as Sophomores that we swore our allegiance to the new treasure given into our keeping. Numerous were the obstacles placed in our way before we were finally joined into a class under the tutelage of Mr. Zimmerman, Mr. Bnrghardt and Miss Xl'ilsori. Our classmates then numbered about four teen, and like the winds, they had come to us from East, Yl'est, North and South. But the bond of friendship which has been formed through the entire three years of our sojourntogether will never be severed. Our studies consisted Of Algebra, Latin, English, German and Ancient History, which were not very difficult, although Algebra was a terror to some, and Geometry, which came the last half of the year, a terror to many more. The year was a very pleasant one, but we looked forward longingly to vacation time. Summer passed quickly and we gathered together for our Junior year. There were some few changes, but most of our teachers had climbed the step toward the goal with us. A new stumblihg hlock made its appearance in the form of Elementary Physics, but it, like all the preceding ones7 had to be overcome. The memory of our junior Year brings sorrow, for in it we lost the support of our principal, G. XV Burns, and the year closed with sad foreboclirigs as to who could promote our wel- fare in the coming year as well as he had done. In it we awakened to the responsibility placed upon us a; the hrst Academic grad- uating class of our school. Last but not least is our Senior Year. Our Class was organized, and with two representatives from each of the other classes formed the annual statt. The sole purpose of this organization is to promote the welfare of the school, and in this book you will view the extent of our success. Much respect is due the Social Committee for the many pleasures they have given tis this year and the benefit they have been to the school. The P-A recep- tion was a great success, and will always he a pleasant memory to us all. Another interesting event of the year was the purchasing of our school banner. How proudly we follow it on this, our grad- uation night, and hope that the classes th0 succeed us will cherish it as we have clone, keeping the life of the one whose face is there portrayed as a constant help toward success, ever in mind. The sudden loss of our new principal, Professor Cummins, at the time when we needed him most. was very sad. But we wish to extend our sincere gratitude to Mr. Ellis. who has helped us so faithfully, and also to our teachers, Miss Wilson, Mr. Zimmerman, Mr. Bingman, Mr. Elliott and Mr, Burghardt. Graduation Night is here, the time we have looked forward to so longingly and with much pleasure. As we stand at the parting of the ways, diplomas in hand, we try vainly to gaze into the future and the question comes to our minds, that next? The University at the top of the hill beckons to some of us. others have decided to go to law school. Of one thing we are certain. the claes of ll 1 having won their first battle in life will look for new ohstacles to overcome, new worlds to conquer, with always the same thought in mind, ttPerge Moclo?

Can you ever forget how important we felt? Now Recently Here I am today sitting in my bachelor we are scattered to all four corners. of the glohe. chance has brought me into contact with several of our class- mates; so I have decided to celebrate the anniversary of our graduation in writing you about them. I went into the First National Bank the other day and the President stepped up and spoke to me It was out Invincible Ralph. He seemed a. little doubtful whether to address me :15 Miss or Mraz, but I assured him that my name was the same as when I went to school with him. We fell to talking of old times and our VEll'lUlh mutual triendst and he told me that Walter Mocsta. after graduating from U. C. had accepted a principalship in Brooklyn and W215 rapidly becoming a famous man. Funny how we meet people where we least expect them, isn't it. The other day, as I was walking down Riverside Drive, I met Esther Schneithorst. Do you know she is professor in Latin at Vassar? She graduated from Oxford and made such a brilliant record that she was invited to Vassar as assistant immediately after graduating, Have-you heard of Norma Weiml wedding? She mu married in May of last year to a prominent business man of Indianapolis. where she is now making her home. Do you remember Elmer Putt? You know he was quite ii genius at designing. After completing his course at the Ciw cinnati Art School, he went to Springheld, where he is drawing a handsome salary as well as some good pictures for the IVoman S Home Companion. john Anthony is teaching school at the 'W'K'ashingtonW and stands in a good way to become school supervisor. This I learned from Bernard I-Ierbe, who has quite a large printing establishment and is puhlighing the monthly paper for the W'ashe ington Night High School. By the way. this paper is now quite a success. Aren't you proud to think that we were the first to publish an annual? It takes a wedding Or two to make things interesting so I'll tell you the latest news. Marguerite H'ettercr was married last month to a man she has known since childhood, She is still very much a child, but I don't believe the baby of our Class will ever grow up. I suppose that was the reason for the serious objection on the part of her patents. for when they found she had made up her mind they locked her in her roomi All is fair in love. however. and when her fiance and the minister sailed up to her window in an aeroplane. she outwitted everyone by be- coming his wife up in the cloutlsI And now, just a word about myself. I have just completed a book of short stories. and am preparing to start 011 a trip around the world in order to get material for a novel. I expect to return home by way of the North Pole in 1935, Now write and tell me 2111 about your fortunes in this wide world, antl all you can about the other t'out'teena Sincerely your friend, PEARL E.

Never Drii't COMMISSION FORM OF GOVERNMENT N September 8, 1900, a hurricane, driving up from the southwest with unusual violence, swept the waters of the Gulf of lVIexiCU over the city of Galveston, Texas, causing one Of the most disasterous hoods in the history of our country.. The bridges which connect the Island City with the main land were swept away. Trees were uprooted; residences wrecked; schools and churches were blown down; the light plants and water works were de- stroyed. The very streets, which were paved with wood blocks. floated away. The once level thoroughfares. and blocks of stores became :1 Chaos of fallen brick, ruined houses, broken telegraph poles and drifted sand. Among this mags of wreckage lay the bodies of six thousand citizens. We Can realize to what degree order was preserved in Gal- veston. and the general condition of the people. by recalling the frightful devastation of our own flood of last year. Yet, this disaster was but a mild one. compared to that which overwhelmed the beautiful Island City on the Gulf Those who survived the flood of Galveston faced a desperate Hundreds were leaving the city. Property values The city had a The municipal situation. had decreased fifty to seventy-tive per cent. $200,000 hoating debt previously outstanding. defaults in the payment of interest on bonds had caused them to fall forty per cent below par. The Governor of the state, when appealed to for financial support, refused, stating that he would not allow state money to be advanced to a city which, under normal conditions, permitted its expenditures to exceed its income, a city whose ordinary operating expenses were habitually met by the sale Of bonds. 35 The people saw that it the city was to exist again order must he wrought out of chaos. the dead buried. buildings recon- structed, and business resumed. In their distress the citizens looked to the Mayor and Aldermen for ways to renew confidence and restore ereiliti int they looked in vain, for the city gov- ernment failed them utterly. The Board of Aldermen did nothing but pass resolutions. Here the importance of government in ordering the large aspect of city life was revealed at a flash. Affairs stood in this posture when it was proposed that the h'leiyign- resign, and an emergency board be appointed. On September 18, 1901, one year after the stormt a new plan for governing Galveston went into effect. The plan pm- videtl a Commission, similar to the board at directors Of a business corporation; it concentrated both power and responsie hility in 3 small number Of men. The hrst Commission cone sisted of five men, of whom three were appointed by the Governor, and two were elected at large by the people of Gale vestnn. This board took the place of the Mayor and Council. It was its duty; First. to make and enforce such rules as it might deem ht and proper for the organization, management and Voperation Of all the City departments. Second, to appoint all efheers 21ml subordinates in all departments of the City. Third, to make all laws ahgl ordinances nut ineonsistent with the laws and constitution of the state. One of the Commissioners was called the MayorAPresident; it was his duty to preside at all meetings: he had 110 veto, but had a vote as one of the Five. The majority vote settled every question. The law required the Mayor-President to give six hours a day to his municipal duties. COMMISSION FORM OF GOVERNMENTeContinued Of the other four Commissioners. one had charge of the police and Ere departments: one was superintendent of streets and public propertiex: one was water works and sewerage com- missioner, and the fourth was director of hnances and revenue. The hoard. by majority vote. determined of what department each member should have charge. Each one was directly re sponsible for the work of his particular department. Llnder this plan the old way of shifting blame for municipal mistakes, from Councilman t0 Mayorj and from the Mayor to some other department was avoided. for the authority was not divided as under the aldermanic form. The Commission Plan of government in Galveston is today the same .as originally adopted in 15301, with the exception of the clause which provides that the Governor appoint three of the tive members of the board. This was found unconstitutional and was amended March 30. 1903. Now the five members of the board are elected at large hy the voters of the city As a check upon the large powers granted to its Commission Galveston depends solely upon publicity and care in selecting its Connnissioners. All the meetings of the Commission are Open to the public. Newspaper men are present aml report all busi- ness transacted. Other cities, commission governed, supplement these safeguards by the initiative. referendum, and the recall. In estimating the achievements of Commission Form of Government in Galveston one must consider the double task which confronted the new administration. The city had first to be rebuilt. the entire City had to he raised as a protection against future Hoods, streets harl to he repavetl. water and light plants reconstructed. and the city credit restored. Not only should the degree of success attained in rebuilding G'tlveston 36 he considered, but also the extent to which the Commission Form has proven' capable of directing regular municipal business. The Commission secured ancl paid for the services of three eminent engineers, who devised plans for the great Sea lVallv and for raising the grade of the city. The county of Galveston expended $1.500,000 in the construction of the Sea ll'all. Of this sum eighty percent was contributed by the City of Galveston. The floating tleht of $200,000 has been paid without the issuance of a bond, and $1t125JJtttt of the handed debt itself has been paid. The Commission is diligent in collecting back taxes, The money of the eity'which was previously deposited where it drew no interest, now pays dividends. Between September 1S. 15ml. and December 31, 1910, the llmard 0f COmmissioners financed the following improvements: raising the grade of the city water works improvements, drainage, sewer extension, rock and shell streets, and an addition to electric light plant. at a total cost Of nearly $4.000,000. The Sea l-Yall is complete, grade raising is done. the bonds of the city are back at par. Galveston is 011 its feet again. and the great storm is only history. These achievement: leave no room for doubt as to the cfhciency 0f the Commission. Houston Texas. had no great storm; she faced no such crisis as that which confronted Galveston; there. the adoption of the Commiesinn Form was due, not so much to the need of the hem, as to the example set by her neighboring city and a desire for a better government. Three years Houston observed the working plan in Gal- veston. Her people saw the stricken city raised from ruin t0 prosperity with ihcreditable rapidity, Accordingly. july 5 1905, they adopted the same plan for Houston. COMMISSION FORM OF GOVERNMENTeContinued Like Galveston this city prospered and progressed. The achievement of the Commission were many. Among them, were the elimination of a large floating debt. improvements of schools. public buildings. parks. sewers and streets. the purchase of the water works from a private corporation, all at a cost of 551400.000. In spite of these vast improvements. the tax rate fell thirty cents per hundred dollars. Under the old system there had been a city treasurer at a salary of $1500 per yeari Nothing was said about the interest on the city deposits. so these also went to the treasurer. The city commission abolished the office Of treasurer. and designated one of the national hanks as city depository. Now the city handles its business through the bank, the same as any other corporation. The city pays the bank fifty dollars per month clerk hire, and the bank pays the city interest on all balances to its credit. In this way the city annually receives $6,000 to $10,000 which formerly went to the city treasurer. XYe can measure the success of Houston, under this form of government, by the worth. of Mayor Rice of that City, in his Mi: Rice said: hThc financial condie We not only enter the annual message of 1mm. tion of Houston is in splendid shape. new year without any floating indebtedness, but with a surplus on hand. and $100,000 worth of Harris. County bonds in our sinking fund drawing interest. By electing the iiiei'iihers at large, the ward 3.5 an elective unit, is abolished. Under the Commission Plan a candidate's character mutt meet the approval of the whole city, instead of one ward only. A man elected by a ward is elected for the favors he can bestow upon his constituents. and his connection with a certain Hi5 character and ability are matters of elected from political faction. secondary importance. Councilmen wards, as L: e1 Limler the old system. do not have at heart the interests of the whole city for they are responeihle to their wards only. It i: the aim of each to secure improvements for his particular ward regartllesa of the necessity of improvements in other sec- tions of the city. Ts it not tobe expected that men elected with the knowedgc that they have been Chosen by the voters of the whole City for their ability and integrity. will serve the people more faithfully than men elected merely for a selfish service they may render a particular ward? The Commission Plan holds the attention and interest of ail the people because its meetings are open to the public. Its Commissioners are know to the citizens of the entire City. The citizens can see what the commission is doing, The acts of the commission are not clouded by heated oratory. The citizens can know the qualifications of the commission candidates, for they are few in number. Since they know the department for which each Commissioner is respmisihle, the citizens can place immediate blame for mismanagement and neglect The Cour mission Plan succeeds. because it puts the power where the people can see it The ballot on election day is unique. it is so short that every citizen knowa what he is doing without relying on a party label or 011 the guidance of a politician. The ;'average mamu the man in the street. or the plain man. whatever you chooee The most marked phencmenon of Commission Government. has been to call him, is in complete control of the government. the increased interest of the people in their city government. The acts of the Commission are the topic of conversation for the street car and the business l'l'lCt'liS luncheon. The force of public opinion has been repeatedly illustrated in the CommiSSion governed city, Each Commissioner knows his responsibility COMMISSION FORM OF GOVERNMENTeConIinued for what is done, and knows that everybody else in the city, knows it too. Under the Commission Plan there is not much talk 01' heated debate. but statistics have shown there is niueh action. The Old system was awkward, cumbersome, and slow. A complaint sent into the Council of Houston about the unsanitary conditions Of a street. was referred by the Council to the stiltnetintendent of the street cleaning department: he in turn referred it to one of his assistants. The last man investigated as he found time, and reported to the superintendent, who in turn forwarded the report to the Council This took considerable time. and the investigation being accomplished by a number of men could not be so accurate as under the new system, where the Commissioner investigates all such complaints personally. Under the old system Houston paid an exorbitant price for paving bricks to a brielc trust. The Commission refused to pay this price, and finally brought shiploads of brick from New York at a much lower price. The old system was well characterized as one ill-suited to the task. inefficient, irresponsible. cumbersome, and careless, In 1907', the Commission Plan of Government was in opera- tion in Des Moines and Cedar Rapids. 1a.; Lewix'ton. Idaho, and had been adopted by the states of Kansas and North and South Dakota In 1911 it had Spread from gulf to lakes, and from ocean to ocean. On March 10, 1913. there were recorded by the National Short Ballot organizatisn in New York City, two hundred and thirty-hve cities. representing thirty-tive states, using the Commission Plan of Govermnent. Close observation has shown that these cities have better governments. more efficiency, and greater prosperity. than similar cities under the old system. Since the application of the Commission has succeeded where tried, the people of Cincinnati should grasp eagerly the oppore tunity of adopting it when offered. This opportunity will be presented this coming June, when a charter providing for such a government will he submitted to popular vote. The prof posed Charter would place Cincinnati on a business basis. The functions of various departments of city government are matters Of business. such as buying and selling commodities. In paving a street, or laying a SEWER the raw material i3: purchased by the City and sold to the citizens in the form of taxes, Since the city buys and sells commodities. makes contracts. and in every respect is an administrative unit, it should be administered as any other corporation Under this eharten the city would become. in fact as well as in name, an administrative unit. Because of the small number of Commissioners and the direct responsibility of each member for the department of which he would have control, work would he carried out with greater rapidity and efficiency The Plan proposed would induce good men to enter the city service because, unlike the present System. there would be no possibility of shifting the blame for municipal errors. There would be an assurance of rightly placed credit. The Commis- sioners would not have to stoop to ward deals. They would be free from any sense of responsibility to any particular ward. Power of accomplishment would be given the individual; this would attract the best men to municipal offices, Are you interested in the welfare of our city? Do the words. ltFor the Honor and Glory of Cincinnati? produce any thrill? Since these statistics I have presented are correct, civic success and Commission Government must be synonomous termsz, and inasmuch as. we have eivie pride, so let our votes speak, Waiter Eugene Moesta.

The struggle covered the very period in which the children should have gotten their best mental and moral development. The family did hnally realize the owner ship of their own house and the possession of a large bank account. but at what a cost! Here. indeed, there was efficiency as it related to the goal, but who would say that the goal was a worthy one? The chief object of the home should he to contribute to society the highest type of men and women; any consideration of home efficiency should x: vitally related to that object. Yes. there should be care and system in the expenditure of money: HOME EFFICIENCY - Continued the housewife ought to know about how much is required to provide for the material side of the home in a week 01- month 01' year. However, a healthful home atmosphere with intelligent parents presiding, is what chiefly challenges our attention just now. able attention to this aspect of the question and have doubtless Our schools and mother's societieS have given consider- done much good. XYise mothers are in these days utilizing their- opportunities for securing such information as makea possihle a more intelligent conduct of the domestic life. But right here thei'e is a danger. It seems difficult to center one's activities mlnewliere near the golden mean. Friom the old fashioned practice of always staying at home and living the life of a recluse. some women have swung all the way over to the Other extreme of scarcely ever being at home. Between alwaya' being in or always being out there is but little choice. When motherls societies and women's clubs occupy so much of the mother's time that She has none to spare for her children. she allows those organizations to defeat the very purpose for which they were instituted. It is very well for the soldier to study his manual of arms, but if he should thus devote all Of his time he is not likely to aseist much in the winning of battles. The mother who gives the major portion of her time to the mere getting of information must not be surprised if her children get farther and farther away from her, in spite of the fact that She knows better how to hold them than ever. But do not mistake the thought here. There is no desire to disparage mothers' societies and Wonieuls clubs as such; on the contrary we believe in them and helieve their advent marks the dawning of a better day. The thing feared is. that the real object of thee organizations will be so far forgotten that weIl-meaning mothers will devote so much time to them a: to 40 gradually cause an extinction of the domestic life; this, of course. would he a calamity to society. Mothers need expert training and carefully wrought-out information for theirs is a task that requires tact and skill of a brand that no other work demands. But the getting of these aids should be limited to certain days so that ample time may be had to practically apply the principles acquired. Parents ought to make it their aim to be their Children's companions. and in order to do this they must at least keep up with them in their progress, if not ahead. That in many instances parents have lost control of their children is not in the. least surprising, Children cannot be controlled by parents whom they do not respect. and they cannot respect tlehcient or unreasonable parents or those whose inconsistency of conduct resolves them into a farce in the presence of sagaeious childhood whose eyes quickly penetrate any veneerng of sham 0r pretense. Parents cannot exact respect that their own conduct does not merit. The ease of the boy who, when he was reproved for certain conduct simply replied. Papa. does it, illustrates the point. It always strikes one rather strangely when he sees a parent so very careful about the conduct of her Child and so careless about her own. Children are naturally imi- tative. and will more readily do what the parent does than what is merely asked to be done. It is more effective to set the proper example and say nothing them to give explicit directions and do nothing. Respect is not inspired by law but by merit A pErROH with some mentality and moral excellence does not have to demand respect: he has it. Perhaps it seems rather harsh to say so, but doubtless it is fortunate for some children that they do not obey their parents for by them they would simply he hampered. Does it not seem a real tragedy to see bright children who would make a mark in the world if they were HOME EFFICIENCY e Continued but given the Chance, fetterecl socially, intellectually and morally, all because of the lack of intelligence and understanding on the part Of those who preside over the home? The home may be made a community complete in itself. Father and mother and children form a circle in which conven sation, reading. work, and various diversions may all have their part. The childrem. in whom there is a natural and free mental unfolding. with no suppression of life in most cases are those whose fathers are companions of the buys and the mothers of the girls and both parents jointly of the family. What unfold- ing life needs most of all are not rules and regulations which in many homes are arbitrarily laid clown, but the right sort of suggestion and inspiration which a WE'lleOHlETEd domestic activity furnishee, thy show more sense in training the family parrot than in rearing our future parents, teachers. preachers and statesmen? That there are many parents who, by the lack of means, are so hampered that they cannot give their children a square deal. a little investigation would make evident; and it is to be hoped that the clay will come when our whole economic system will have been so adjusted that every worthy family may have the means to live in a tit dwelling and every mother will be in a position to employ help in her home when it is necessary. so that she may give proper attention to the lives entrusted to her care. When that day comes; home efficiency will not be uncommon; and where it is lacking. society will not be to blame. But the very fact that under present conditions there are so many disadvantages with which to cope, necessitates a more assiduous application of the parents to the home efficiency problem. Under no circumstances ought the intellectual and moral and spiritual life of the home be made second to any consideration. liy natural and moral and divine right human life should always have first place. Here, then, is the burden of this essay. The function of the home is the developing of strong character out of the raw material. Entering into this process are work, play. reading. social life, church attendance, the system that all this demands, and the example and companionship 0f the parents. Each one of these separately and all of them collectively must be considered as they bear upon the character of the members of the family. Norma lVet'ss.

It may be elected instead of Latin. There were some people in the city who thought. upon reading this statement, that such a radical departure from the old curriculum was to be deplored, but there were others who. through business interests in South America, having some conception of the vast undeveloped wealth of that continent and hence rapidly increasing business oppor- tunities, heartily approved of this change. '13 Unibn Panamericana,' a monthly hmgazine published in H'zishihgton, and printed in English, French, German. Portuguese and Spanish languages, deals With the wonderful development of the South American countries. the constantly increasing business opportunities, and the improved means of comnmnication. Our exports to these Latin countries, it says. for the fiscal year were $196,000,000. an increase of $10.000.000 over the preceding year. As Spanish is the language generally spoken in the far south. with the development of a great inter- national trade, it is readily seen that a knowledge of Spanish is an invaluable asset for the young man or woman entering upon a business career. 51 Up to the lint decade the North Americans had very little interest in South America although the Germans, English and French, quick to realize the Opportunities which awaited them; were suing and competing for favors there, while the Yankeeh explored other Fields. The Germans and the Englishmen forti- fied by making a study of the Spanish language, the business methods, interests and personal characteristics of that nation, readily gained the upper hand. They printed catalogues in Spanish, advertised in their papers and maintained a corre- spondence in that language, and as a natural result they secured the vast negotiations of the South American countries. The North Americans have awakened at last to the fact that millions of dollars are being lost to the United States yearly through ignorance. They awoke in a hurry, the increase of $10,00I.lel'1 in the export: of this year is a silent acknowledge- The Opening of the Panama Canal will make possible a As :1 result many positions are awaiting meut. still greater increase. for those equipped with a knowledge of the Spanish language, The Public Schools, ever ready to meet the demands of the public, are doing what lies within their power to prepare their puPils in this line.

M OFSTA MARGUERITE L. WETTERER LITTLE CORNER FOR LITTLE PEOPLE THE FIRST CIRCUS I ATTENDE ,, It was in the year 1899 that our school teacher took us. to see the circus. In our class was one little boy called Leo, better known to us as Skeet, who was very talkative, and as we passed into a sideshow, Skeet saw a man punching a bag Say, Nfr. Bertie, what's that man doing?n HWhat do you mean ? That man over there. 0113 he's punching a bagf How punching it P I donit know. Then how do you know he's punching it? Be still, Leo. What's that over there? Thatts a giant negro? ttWho made him black? itKeep quiet W But you said he was black. HOf course he is. i'Who told you he was? Now if you don't behave, out you'll go. HDo you pay to go out ? No. HYou did to get in, didn't you ? Yes. uThen why not to get out? Just then the manager called everybody on the other side of the tent, where the cowboys are exhibiting their talents. What's a cowboy, Mr. Bertie? uA man who works on a ranch? How can he be a man when he's a boy P uShut up, everybody is looking at us? Are there calfboys, too, Xlr, Bertie ? HFor the love of Mike, 110 ! hWhy for the love of Mike, is he a teacher; too? Next we came to the performing elephant, and the first thing Leo spied was its trunk. Say. Mr. Bertie, why do elephants have two tails? They have only one, the other is his trunk ttAunt Martha's got a trunk, but it ainit like that.n :tOf course not, they use them to eat with. See him gathering the hay? But Aunt Martha puts dresses in her trunk. uThat will do, Leo, we are going now. Where ? Home, of Course. uWhat does Course mean P Nothing. IS that all it means? Just as we were going out of the door, one of the zebras ran past us. 'iWhat was that, Mr. Bertie? hA zebra What's It zebra ? nA striped horse. HWho stripes them? HT don't know. Why don't they make them diFferent colors instead of black and white? I dont know.h Did you ever stripe one, Mn Bertie? No. no, no V and. he pushed Skeet through the gateway. iThis is the last time you'll go with me, Leo, as long as I iivef' EMihen you're dead, Mr. Bertie. we cant go alongf' Our car came, and Mr. Bertie put us on and paid the conductor a five cent piece for The two of us. Skeet wanted to know where the other nicklc was, but Mr Bertie said nothing. uThe conductor don't know we're ten years old, or he'd want that other nickle. HShut up You want it for beer, don't you ? MNOIL HFor a cigar ? uNo. I'What for, then? For something to tie that little trap of yours 1 and giving Leo a very black look he left the car, and Leo fell asleep. This was my first experience at a circus, and one I shall never forget. ERNEST Wt STOCK MEIER. PARTING WORDS TO THE CLASS OF 14 HR Class of nineteen hundred and fourteen 0f Washington Evening High School can feel highly honored. They are the first to finish the four years course in the school, and in addition to this, they have had many cross-roads in their career. They have toiled during the day and suc- cessfully kept up their school duties at night. They have been called to face the loss of two Principals by the hand of death. But they have bravely met and overcome all obstacles. aml are now ready to receive and enjoy the reward that comes from duty hobly done and honors rightly won. They deserve, and we know they Will receive, the come mendation that is justly theirs. The ordeals through which they have had to pass have had a tendency to make them pause and realize that life is not all sunshine, and that in the course Of events there is a higher 55 power that is guiding the destiny of man. How quickly and unexpectedly at times man must answer that call has been forcibly brought home. They stand now at the threshold of life's doorway. He may not lift the curtain and know the stumbling blocks that may lie in our path. And well for us that we may not. An allwise providence has decreed that man must travel on, not knowing the fate that lies before him. But he has also given 115 hearts that may be true, courage to meet life's responsibilitiest and minds that are ahle to cope with any problems that we have to solve, May this class he as successful and as determined in their future hfeework as they have been in their tight for an education during the past four years. They carry with them the best wishes of the faculty, and we know they will always keep a warm corner in their hearts for their Alma Mater. Farewell.

The September followingibrought us back to school with more enthusiasm and with the determination to reach that greatest of all eventst graduation. Just as we were hindered in 0111' daily work by the Hoods and strikes throughout the year. so we were in our night school work. While these mishaps caused the school course to last until the middle of June. to the sorrow of many, we were cheered by the fact that we were no longer childish Sophomores, Owing to the fact that so many found it necessary to discontinue school attendance this year, the question of the possibility of a R Grade arose.

M UCCESS is the crowning result of perseverance. Perseverance carried us through the two years past, and it is perseverance that will carry us through our final term. Though we may often become discouraged because we cannot obtain better results, and trials and temptations may cross our path, let us not forget that if we would succeed we must persevere to the end. Our struggles Over the rugged paths of knowledge would have been hard, indeed, without the encouragement and helping hands of our kind teachershMJss W'ilson, Miss Perkins, Mr. Bingman, Mr, Zimmerman and Mr. Burghardt. We extend to them our most grateful thanks. It is hard to realize that two years of our course have been finished. but as J tttime and tide wait for 110 manf we must seize our opportunities now, while it is time, and when new opportunities do arrive we Will be able to make use of whatever knowledge we have gained, H'm.

A few of our members deserted short1y after they 112111 enlisted. while other recruit: joined our c01'p5 after we were on the tiring 1111c. 1Ve were fortunate 111 having such efficient thcers 21.: Mr. Zimmerman, Miss WHISOh, Miss Perkins, M1 . E11iott, Mr. Burghardt and Mr. Bingman at the head of our company. Mr. Bingman, Lieutenant C010ne1, to whom we reported four times He kept his head filled with rules; and hgnres, and was ready Elt :1 11101110118 notice 1'0 11 week, 15 21 1111111 of wonderful ability. start hring them with the speed 01 a machine gun. Some 01 us had our brains ahnnst Shattered with these 111:1the111atic211 11115511es, while others were unharmed because of the thick walls protecting them. Mr. Zin1111er1111111, First Lieutenant, reported regularly. His knowtedge of the earth and its habits 19 marvelous.

One day he told us about the 111igration of divides. and one of the militants became deeply interested in the subject. $1113 believed, however. that more could be learned directiy from nature than from mere explanation. C0117 sequently she turned her attention to 21 little 11111 which was situated in the camp grounds. She watched it for a long time. but it tlid not migrate. Suddenly she recalled the Bibiical state ment that by faith we can cause 1110-t111tains to move, and decided to put it to test. In her commanding way she said. 11Co111e over here, LittIe Hill? and t0 the astonishment of 2111, the 111t1e 11111 migrated to a position at her side. Now she understands thorougth the migration of divides. This' miraculous event will be 11mg remembered by the entire company There is' much discussion about a war with Mexico, 211111 some of the boys have been sent 111' Mr. liryan to the border. If we becmne the pOSSQHHJl'N of that Latin country. we wi11 be 211111: to acquire the language quick1y because of the splendid instructions received from Miss Wilson and Mics Perkins. Mr. Burghardt is the leader of our German bantL and his hearty laugh cheered 11s when we became discouraged. Second Lieutenant 7111: Elliott, came upon the campus after we were pretty we11 lined up. He brought with 111111 11213111115;- ton Irving, William Shakesphere 211111 Mr. Hawthorne. who made the evenings very interesting by tehing their famous stories. 311-. Filintt atways had a joke or a love story to te11: the latter made him popular with the militants. The camp was :1 bee-hive of activities during the year past. There was always p1enty of work and plenty of p1ay. In order to break the monotmiy, dances and entertainnmnts were given. Colonel Cumming; gave severed lectures which were instruc- tive as we11 as entertaining On one occasion he told us that Cincinnatits police force was originated because of the disorderly conduct of some Soldiers when off duty This 11:15 Ovet a hundred years ago, Let 11s as soidiers give the p011ee of today 110 trouble, but rather hc1p them to keep the peace by making our lives an influence for good conduct. Shortly after Colonel C11111miusi last lecture hie useful and successful 11fe terminated very suddeniy while seated in his private office. The news of his death caused much bereave- ment in camp, and the deep sympathy of 1111 was extended to his family.

The general routine of night-school life was broken by pleasant Social events such as the dances on Thanksgiving live, February 20th! and the B-A Recep- tion on March 17th.

As the year rolled on and the studies became more cliH-icult, the class gradually c'liminished to eighteen. The class on 2111 average was very sociable, and at the beginning of the year 1914 it became more united and formed 2L club, which was of short duration. As the close of the school year approaches we realize the value of our well spent time. and regret that we are so near the end of the term. Many a pleasant hour has been spent in our course of stcuography. We Wish to express our a1:ypreciatio1'1 to Miss Darrow. 215 we have profited much by her enduring patience. E.

Having no funds in the treasury. it was at Erst a very serious matter. The Commercial Alumni gave its first dance in February for a twofold purpose, first to create a better social feeling toward our fellow-members, and secondly for the financial support derived therefrom. Opposition seemed to face us on all sidest but the ofhcers and members working diligently and overcoming thiat made the dance a grand success, long to he remembered by all who attended. Further we might add. that this was only one of a series of social affairs which the Alumni intends to give It is through these social gatherings that we will come in closer contact with our fellow members and thus create the proper school spirit. The Commercial Alumni of this school is today. perhaps. one of the smallest alumni, but with the earnest support of everyone. we hope to make it: Firxinue of the strongest in existence.
